The head of the General Secretariat of Government (Segegob), the spokes minister Camila Vallejo, confirmed that the constitutional reform that enables the new constituent process has already been promulgated by La Moneda. In this way, the Secretary of State said that this Tuesday, January 17, it will be published in the Official Gazette.
“The constitutional reform that enables a new constituent process has already been promulgated and tomorrow it would be in the Official Gazette,” announced Minister Vallejo, at a press point from the Government Palace.
Facing the Constitutional Council elections that will take place on May 7, asked if the ruling party will go on a single list, Minister Vallejo said that “the ideal is to have the government alliance united and even more”.
“We have indicated that from the Christian Democracy (DC) to the Communist Party (PC), because we understand that it is important that the progressive forces go together to defend and establish the principles for a society with greater rights,” he added.
According to the government spokesperson, “the ideal scenario for the Executive is unity and cohesion, to face the challenges that it has in terms of public policies and in the constitutional sphere.”
It is worth mentioning that, in addition, Congress must choose the 24 people who will make up the Expert Commission that will accompany this new process, who will begin working on the draft bill that will be delivered to the Constitutional Council in January.
For his part, the President of the Board of Directors of Servel, Andrés Tagle, together with the National Director of Servel, Raúl García, intensified the call for citizens to review and, if necessary, request the change of their electoral address in view of the proximity of the Closing of the Electoral Registry.
Deputy Manouchehri: “If we were on two lists, the PS should go with I Approve Dignity”
After being promulgated by President Gabriel Boric, the new constituent process is underway. In the prelude to the formation of political pacts for the election of the representatives of the Constitutional Council, the socialist deputy Daniel Manouchehri affirmed that “the most intelligent thing is to go on a single list.”
Asked about the possibility that the government parties go on two lists, Manouchehri replied that, in his opinion, “the Socialist Party should go with Approve Dignity. We believe that the Socialist Party has to form an important nucleus with the center of government of President Gabriel Boric”.
“However, this is a position that the Socialist Party must settle at its instances. I repeat, the politically and electorally intelligent thing to do is to go on a single list. We believe that only with unity the future is possible”, he stressed.
In principle, the legislator for the Coquimbo Region affirmed that “the electoral and politically intelligent thing is that we all go together on a list. First of all, it has greater electoral efficiency because large lists have the capacity to accumulate more votes and the distribution number favors eligibility. And, secondly, politically a powerful signal is sent”.
“We have to make every effort, and the Socialists will do so, in order to reach a single list that can ensure that the next Constitutional Council has progressive ideas, change and social transformation well represented,” he closed.
